Yup, that looks familiar. Getting a feathered bowling ball in your face at 60mph can be a bit unnerving. Then again, hitting Bullwinkle instead of Tom would suck more.

Agreed, maybe 30 years ago 75-80k was a car on it’s last legs, not now. 150k is easily within normal life cycle. The fuel filter in my lady’s Liberty is a “life of service” part, which Jeep pegs at 200k. Just replaced it at 196k so yeh, they figured just about right on that one. Out of all the vehicles in our yard…

Respect. It matters.

“No CEL on.”

You can. Go to the pre-”race” show (I forget what it’s called, sorry, it’s Monday) and you can talk to the drivers and crew as well as crawl all over the trucks. Well, after the kids get done. There is not one pro motor sport that is as fan-accessible as monster trucks, not even close.

Considering the average food cost per month for a middle-class family of 4 is $1000, if this “average” family really wants to be average they need to stop being idiots when shopping.
Or put the overpriced, “organic” shit back on the shelf.

Or Hillary... you know, those emails are the reasons are roads are shit.

Ed is the only reason I watch it :(

I’d like to think I’m gainfully employed, being a Sr Systems Admin for the last 15 years and 3 different companies. My income is market-median and significantly higher than the median of my area. I haven’t had company-provided healthcare since the late-90s. The last company that I worked for made it a habit to clean…

Zeus likes to ride in the VW Bus

That’s a great idea, but it isn’t how it works in the States. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been “failed” for a “cracked” serp belt, 3 times they had less than 100 miles on them. Look at any serp belt (the inside surface that contacts the pulleys) and see if you can find one that isn’t cracked. They all…

Considering half the Republicans on my FB feed have been reposting articles from The Onion as real news, this surprises me... none.

Guess it depends on where you are. In my area, RAMs outnumber GM, yes, even the 1st and 2nd gens, though Fords still outnumber everyone. I’ve had Mopars since the late 70s, I’ve also had BMWs, Toyotas, Hondas, Renaults, Oldsmobiles, Chevys, Fords, VWs, and Land Rovers. Currently there are 2 RAMs with over 250k (87…

It becomes a waste of time battling those who have never owned a Mopar, yet profess to be experts on them. It’s really not worth the energy.

Why would anyone merge with VW?

Perma-plate isn’t on the front or back of a car, it’s etched into the windows. It’s an archaic theft recovery “system.”

I wouldn’t say influenced, but these two? Badass.

“landed on a woman sitting in her car in the parking lot, who somehow managed to escape unharmed”

Probably sitting in one of these...

This pretty much hits it. I’m on the opposite side of the fence. I would buy American (especially since I need and use a truck) over Toyota, Nissan, and especially Honda. I’m in the minority, this I know, my experience with Honda (not just the cars - mower, generator, and motorcycles) has been horrible. When it comes…

I would also include this:
“Charging far more for their product than was needed. Raising the cost for those trying to purchase it.” - Charge what the market will bear. If it is too expensive, people won’t buy it. Free market. Who decides the cost?
